Fabric Covered Cork Board Frame

I saw this and loved it! I just love the color of the frames. I would love to do it in the same color but have a yellow damask fabric in the middle. I just love the two colors together. Very bright and happy. This is a fabric covered cork board project by How Does She? and I can't wait to try it!

Etsy Article

I was informed this morning that my Simple Black Graduation Card was featured as one of the many Etsy sellers with digital and paper graduation cards. The article was on Associated Content.
If you would like to see the article go here. It's so nice to get noticed by someone other than a friend. Cool!

Etsy Items plus Freebie

Since today is my birthday I thought I would show you the newest cards in my Etsy store. I also have a freebie for you as well.
All of these cards I have made for my kids in some form or other. Except the Green Apple invite. I made that for my sister. Coming up with new cards is fun for me and fun for my kids to see as well.
Just click on any of the pictures to take you to my shop.



So, here is the freebie. I gave this as a freebie last year for a cupcake post I did on another person's blog but now you have it here. Just click on the picture and it will take you there. It is a PDF file so you can just print it off on your computer. Enjoy!

I Heart Faces - Sun Flare

Here is my entry to the I Heart Faces Sun Flare Challenge. I think the sun flare totally worked in this photo. Gave it a kind of dreamy quality to it. Love it! This is from the same photo shoot as the previous photo but now you get to see more of her and that awesome dress.

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

I was up at my parent's house hanging out a couple weeks ago when I told my mom about this idea I had. I knew that she still had a bunch of dresses she used to wear decades ago and I wanted to do a photo shoot with my youngest sister in them, in an orchard. I was hoping to go for a vintage dreamlike setting. Mom said yes and my sister started to try on the dresses so I could see what I liked. We found about 5 dresses.

A week later I was on the road with my sister, Truly, and we were headed to some orchards near home. I was hoping the trees would be in bloom and some were but not to the extent that would work. So, we ended up at a friends house and we used their backyard. It's amazing back there. The dress we went with this time (we only had an hour before we had to get back) was a Gunne Sax dress my mom wore at her wedding reception in 1977. Gorgeous!

Anyways, that is how I got this picture. We had a ton of fun going to different parts of the backyard. (It's huge with a stream and boulders at the back.)
I am entering this picture in the I Heart Faces Favorite February Picture.

Little Boy Pants

Can I just say how much I am in love with these pants? A freakin' lot. There aren't a lot of things out there that I almost squeal when I first look at and this is one of them.

For some reason I have been in the stone ages and haven't seen this blog all about boys. I will be visiting often for sure. Anywho, I have a little boy that is two and would be stinkin' adorable in these pants.

I will now stop talking and send you over to see how she makes these pants with a liner for those cold days. Check out the tutorial and then browse a bit at Made.

Valentine Digital Kit

So, I have been working on some clipart that I drew for Valentine's Day. My daughter saw me working on them and wanted to draw some too. Sure why not? Then I had an awesome idea to turn her drawings in to the clipart and make her Valentine cards from them.

So, here is the kit I made and it is on sale in my Etsy Store. All proceeds will go to her. There are 10 cliparts (the words are all separate except the Bee mine) and three 12x12 papers.
Here is my daughter's Valentine. We had a fun little photo shoot too!
